New Headings for Posts

In an effort to add some organization to postings, the daily posts will go with that day of the week, so if you are following this blog, you may pick a day or all days.

Soulful Sunday - scriptures and spiritual thoughts, reviews on popular reads, and anything that has to do with religion.

Manic / Musing Monday - time savers and general thoughts.

Tutoring Tuesday - various subjects (this is for the little teacher in me).

Word Wednesday - word power from dictionary.com and motivational stuff.

Thirsty Thursday - drinks and smoothie recipes / site references.

Fun / Fashion Friday - fun and fashion, what more could you possibly want in life?

Un-saturated Saturday- this is the day I may or may not post. If I do, I will share travel, shopping, and chore adventures.

Word of The Week

So, I am totally behind on the word of the week, so lame, so lame. 
This is like the easiest post to write every week.

So I am going to have to catch up by posting three words. 
In the future I am moving this post to Wednesday.

In order to reach my goals, I will have to have fortitude and persevere at all times.

Goal: aim. 

Fortitude: strength and courage in facing danger or trouble.

Perseverance: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

These three words are powerful. Put some action behind them and they will change your life. 
Stay tuned next week for Word Wednesday.

Word of the Week: Bourgeois

When I was growing up, I thought bougie meant "stuck up". I could not have been more wrong. 

I was talking to some friends last summer and mentioned that I was naturally bougie. I believed at the time that I meant that I expected things to be a certain way and if that's bougie, then so be it. 

Well today, I thought to look the word up. Who would have known the word had two pronunciation...probably someone "bougie".
